How do you identify a 42re vs 42rh tranny

SuperDuperZJ · Mar 12, 2008

I know it is junk but its all i have for right now, but my haynes manual has different torque specs for adjusting the bands. I have never adjusted bands so i dont want to screw up the wifes DD :???: She has a 98 zj w/ 4.0L 249j tc. Any help would be appreciated.

ZJs never used the 42RH. Only the 42RE, 46RH, 44RE, and 46RE. If you have a 4.0L, you have the 42RE.

Well, I can see how they could make the mistake. The 42RH is just a weaker version of the 46RH which was used behind the V8s and has the same number of gears and torque rating as the 42RE.
